X-SPDIF3 USB MCLK - Juan Carlos - 09-18-2023
Hello
Just wanted to ask about the 2 femtosecond clocks build in the X-SPDIF3
MODE A and MODE B clocks are available.
What’s is the best clock mode for my setup?
I have a Matrix Element M and I want to connect the X-SPDIF3 using IIS-LVDS connection.
Best Regards
Juan Carlos Santos

Hi Juan,
The D/A chip of element M only works at async mode, it don't support sync mode, so, the MCLK mode of X-SPDIF 3 will not affect the sound performance of element M.

Thank you for your support
So that means the X-SPDIF-3 will not have any use in my setup?
it won’t make any difference in improving the sound?

Hi Juan,
If you add the X-SPDIF3 between your computer and the element M, you'll get some benefits. As you know, the ground wire of USB port of X-SPDIF3 is isolated from the ground wire of its IIS port. But the element M doesn't have the isolation design, when you connect the element M to your computer directly, noises and interferences could be transfered from the computer to the element M through the USB connection.
